If I talk shit about you to you, that means I like you. 

It's because I have poor communication skills. Kidding, it’s because I grew up in Los Angeles.

The shitty inner monologue.

Everyone has one. What's hard is keeping it positive. Every little mess up exponentially grows inside your mind. Or "Hey, remember that time that you broke your ankle in three places…in front of hundreds of people.”

Maybe you don't make the best decisions.

Or, "What about that time you got in a fight over tacos.”

Tacos are serious. But, it can get dark.

Find something that keeps it positive. Listen to that voice, but only for fuel. Don't like something? Change it. 

"I'm going to call them today.”

Follow Your Dreams 

By all means, follow your passion. Quit your day job and go for it. But, don't be afraid to make ends meet and still have steam to do your thing. Don't complain when it gets hard. Struggle is good. Pay attention to your frustrations during that struggle. Check your emotions, check your actions. 

10 Minutes a Day 

No matter what job(s) you hold, it's important to dedicate some time to your passion. Not an all-or-nothing kind of dedication, but a start-somewhere kind of discipline. 

Being Creative

It's pretty cheesy to hear these days. Follow your dreams. Why? Because when it all goes to shit, a little part of you will know, "Well, at least I fucking tried." 

Why Am I Doing This?

Why do I even write on this blog? Who is going to read this? Will I ever become a successful writer? Does it matter? What am I supposed to do with my life? Am I supposed to work to sustain my art, or live to produce art no matter what and make that my livelihood, career, and everything else? Am I supposed to feel this unsure of myself all the time? Why do I keep asking myself all of these questions?

“I’m Turning Into My Parents”

I tell people I love them. I like to give car rides to my friends. I cherish memories and tell the same stories. I love talking with strangers. I will embarrass myself to make you laugh. I support you if your heart’s in the right place.

On Dating Yourself

It’s nice to be the voice of reason within yourself.
